Life at Reynolds Plantation on Lake Oconee Georgia

Real Estate Scorecard celebrates the harmony Metlife has brought to an avid golfers paradise in Central Georgia. Reynolds Plantation is an award winning gated Georgia lake community with six championship golf courses. Its new owner, Metlife, wasted no time making substantial investments into the communitys infrastructure. Renovations began last year on the Great Waters and The Landings golf course. The Oconee Course and The National Course renovations began this month. On the horizon, construction of the new National Clubhouse is planned.

The Reynolds Golf Academy is a top ranked instructional facility with six head golf pros on staff. The Linger Longer Invitational, Reynolds Ramble, member tournaments, and global group travel are just a few of the superb golfing activities club members enjoy. From Real Estate Scorecards research, there are only a handful of gated golf communities with amenities at this level. The Lake Club Tennis Club is also impressive. The tennis center has 16 tennis courts, double court stadium seating and an incredible tennis social calendar.

Reynolds Plantation has the advantage of being located away from the coast and the threat of hurricanes, yet it borders beautiful water, the stunning 18,000 acre Lake Oconee, Georgias second largest lake. If golf or tennis isnt your cup of tea, property owners here have incredible water sports to enjoy. Its no surprise fishing clubs are popular at this best Georgia lake community. Lake Oconee Anglers held their first fishing tournament of the season last week and thats just one of the fishing clubs. Lake Oconee Anglers meets each month on Tuesdays. At Reynolds, theres no need to own a boat. Reynolds Plantation has a new fleet of pontoon boats available to rent at one of their four full service marinas.

A day in the life of Reynolds includes holiday celebrations such as Red, White & Boom, the communitys spectacular upcoming Fourth of July celebration. More fun social events include Reynolds Plantations cooking demonstrations by their fabulous chefs, themed dinners, summer concert series by the pool, and the Plantation Chefs Market every Saturday, an old-fashioned street Farmers Market inside this community.
